How we got here
A contract with Westwood Professional Services, Inc., which entails evaluating the feasibility of monument signs at locations, prioritizing locations and providing conceptual design, for an amount not to exceed $51,700, was approved by City Council during its Nov. 18 meeting, as previously reported. The funds come from the $2.92 million the city received from the March 2021 American Rescue Plan Act, which authorized $1.9 trillion in federal pandemic relief funds.
Stay tuned
Tomball City Council will approve the committee's recommendations at a later council meeting, per the agenda.
